The document describes the design calculations and inputs required for the shell, bottom plate, and annular bottom plate of a storage tank.

Calculations are described for determining the thickness of multiple shell courses, the bottom plate thickness, and the thickness and width of the annular bottom plate.

Inputs required include the specific gravity and type of liquid, corrosion allowance, tank diameter, design liquid level, number of shell courses, allowable stresses for design and testing, and height of bottom course.
